The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022, Qafiya 08 by Ajmal is a sophisticated Oriental fragrance that balances the freshness of citrus with the warmth of powdery woods and spices. The mandarin orange and bergamot open with a bright zestiness, while saffron adds an unexpected depth. As it settles, amberwood and sandalwood create a rich, enveloping base, supported by notes of iris and rose that add subtle floral layers. This composition is anchored by vanilla, which brings a comforting sweetness to the overall blend.
Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, one or two sprays are sufficient. This fragrance is best applied to pulse points for a lasting effect throughout the day. It pairs well with layering, especially under layers of clothing where it can unfold gradually.
